Thank you for hosting Rabbie Moffie I was never thought about Jesus as Hewish practicing keeping sabbath as jewish tradition as well. It was an enlightenment for me.
I love this ministry. We are so busy in our loud lives we don't even realize that God is waiting to speak to us. Or we are frustrated because we feel a disconnect. What relationship would we not feel a disconnect in if we were not intentional to create space for it?
This podcast is for all ministers—pastors, chaplains, leaders in the church. The genuine, authentic conversation is refreshing and reassuring. There are many challenging ideas & suggested spiritual practices.There is an invitation to the new, uncomfortable and beautiful. The book is amazing but these conversational podcast episodes are wonderful to listen to while driving or before bed. I’m so blessed (and relieved!) to have come across Ruth.

I really enjoy Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership with Ruth Haley Barton, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in forging and maintaining a life-giving connection with God in the midst of leading. I just listened to the episode with Steve Cuss about explore Systems Theory. Thank you for the invaluable takeaways.
